This bestselling award-winning children’s classic illustrated book provides the subject for our Christmas issue 2008.
A unique interactive delight, this book has charmed children the world over and our celebration comes in the year of author, and one-time postman, Allan Ahlberg’s 70th birthday.

Our stamp images are derived from the enchanting and meticulously-researched illustrations by Allan’s late wife Janet Ahlberg which have made this publication such a success
